Abstract
Fan flow deflection for jet noise reduction was applied to subscale nozzles simulating the geometry and exhaust conditions of separate-flow turbofan engines. Two types of deflectors were tested, one comprising two pairs of vanes internal to the fan duct and the other consisting of a wedge positioned outside the fan duct. The noise reduction achieved by the vanes was strong in the downward direction and moderate in the sideline direction. The wedge generated significant attenuation in both directions. The acoustic results are consistent with the measured distortion of the mean velocity field. An approach for the treatment ofnonaxisymmetricjets vis-a-vis perceived noise prediction is introduced.
